Forget Camus or even Heidegger; Pierce Brosnan just conquered nihilism with an outfit so dark it made Nietzsche look like a court jester. In doing so he put the rest of Paris to shame, issuing a challenge to gallic men (and graphic designers) everywhere: the rest of the world is onto you.

What is he onto? The laziest style hack in the history of fashion: wearing all (or mostly all) black. Specifically, in Pierces case, this involved wearing dark trousers, a black crew neck tee shirt, black dress shoes and a Harrington style navy jacketas he left his Paris hotel on Wednesday evening.

It may have kept off the cold but it couldnt stop the Paparazzi, who snapped Brosnan walking from the hotel foyer to his car, as he continues a month-long trip with his wife of 18 years, Keely Shaye Smith.

Walking with Keely, Pierce sauntered the 20-yard dash, even throwing a peace sign on his way. The retired 007 then (presumably) re-embarked upon the Paris leg of his European jaunt, which has so far included such jealousy-inducing locations as Italys Portofino and Icelands blue lagoon.

So, style implications for men? The first is this: as long as you wear well-fitted garments, and carry yourself with a bit of esteem (a la Brosnan) then it is possible to rock black on black (or dark on dark) without looking like a teenager.

The second point is a warning: unless you purchase a hero piece like Brosnans navy jacket from the hotel to car shot (which, judging by his impeccable taste, we guess is a Barbour, Proof or Grayers creation) and have a couple of Hollywood blockbusters under your belt, you wont be considered a style icon.

But hey, Brosnans more recent Montparnasse outfit (which he posted to Instagram yesterday), is something we can all aspire to, as is his version of the basic tourist getup (see: above).

Regular jeans, black tee and well fitted black zip-up jacket: here we come.
